Note-Rewrite of the hit song, Single Ladies.

My own twisted sense of humor hopefully comes through this piece

All you poetry readers (7X)

Now if my naughty poetry ways got you fed up
Throw your pens up
Up in this writer's club, gettin' 'em all choked up
Jealous
Cos I'm not afraid to be doin' my own thing
Makes ya wanna trip
Cos some big name publisher noticed me
I'm gettin' big notice from him, he gettin' big notice from me
Won't pay your childness any attention
Cuz I've paid my dues for 20 long years
Ya got no right to be mad at me

Chorus

Cuz if you don't like it then you shoud't be readin' it
If you don't like it then you should't be readin' it
Don't be mad once you see someone big wants it
If you don't like it then you don't have to be readin' it

Wo oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh oh (2X)

Cuz if you don't like it then you shoud't be readin' it
If you don't like it then you should't be readin' it
Don't be mad once you see someone big wants it
If you don't like it then you don't have to be readin' it

They got my name on their lips, payin' me the big tips
For my prose tighter then my Dereon jeans
Acting up, bet ya would love to spit in my coffee cup
I could care less what you think
I need no permission, did I mention
Not gonna pay your childness any attention
Cos you have't yet earned your turn
So now sit back, relax and learn
What a real writer is supposed to be

Cuz if you don't like it then you should't be readin' it
If you don't like it then you should't be readin' it
Don't be mad once you see someone big wants it
If you don't like it then you don't have to be readin' it

Cuz if you don't like it then you shoud't be readin' it
If you don't like it then you should't be readin' it
Don't be mad once you see someone big wants it
If you don't like it then you don't have to be readin' it

Wo oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh oh

Don't try to hold me back from telling the real truth about the world
I'm just that kind of girl
You gotta deal with it
Fame is what I deserve, riches what I prefer
From this man who has promised that he will make me, take me
Deliver me to my destiny, to infinity and beyond
Fall to your knees
Beg me to forgive
Say that at last you've been owned
If you don't flip over your opinions of me
You'll soon be jobless and alone
And then like a ghost what little talents you do have will be gone

All the poetry readers (7X)
Now if you're fed up with me
Throw you pens up

Wo oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh ooh oh oh oh (2X)

Cuz if you don't like it then you shoud't be readin' it
If you don't like it then you should't be readin' it
Don't be mad once you see someone big wants it
If you don't like it then you don't have to be readin' it
Woo oh oh oh

don't listen to him

he's a rubbish critic. Though he's right about songs being terrible reads. Ramona if you're ever published and distributed in any chain book store I'll buy a dozen of your books and send you the receipt as proof. I'll probably just bury them in my backyard when i get home, but I'm sure there's some hackneyed publisher somewhere willing to publish you. Also, I've done the math with your 20years as a writer. Based on the max age of your profile, 32, you would of started as a writer at age 12, which is absolutely silly to state and re-state in your poems. You know, I started writing at age five, so have I spent twenty years as a writer? It's a predicament, cuz then if you're actually forty and have been writing since age 20 it's fine, but it's also bizzaro/queer that you're writing to contempo pop meant for sixteen year olds. Anyway, I'm sure you're a good girl, I'm not criticizing your character, just your idea of artistic expression.

Song

You write a lot of songs it looks like, there's poetry with audio, you should sing 'em. I wrote a song and posted it as audio called "Our Little Plan". Reading lyrics isn't very fun, especially when you know the melody of the song.
